A shooter /help
Message from hasib1234 posted on 20-05-2020 at 20:34:56 (D | E | F)
Hello,
Can you help me please?
Thanks for any reply.
You entered a room of 34 people. A shooter then enters killing 30. How many people are left in the room?
What does "A shooter then enters killing 30" mean ? Doesn't it mean that the shooter first of all killed 30 people and then entered that room?

Hello hasib1234
First he entered the room, then he killed 30 people.

Then I think it should be like this: The ~~soother~~ shooter then enters and kills 30.

Hello
Maybe a comma is missing.
A shooter then enters, killing 30.
It is not expressed very naturally, it sounds like a headline, telegraphic style.

Then, I think I am right, aren't I?

What do you think that sentence should be?
